Icon of the estate Castello di Nipozzano, the Mormoreto di Frescobaldi is a Supertuscan of rare elegance, born in 1983 from a historic vineyard planted in 1976, on sandy-loam soils rich in minerals at about 300 meters s.l.m.. The blend consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, international varieties planted 150 years ago that find here a unique territorial expression. The manual harvest is followed by fermentation in steel and a 24-month maturation in barrique, with subsequent aging in the bottle. The color is intense ruby red with garnet reflections. On the nose, it opens with complex notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, chocolate, spices, and mentholated balsamic. On the palate, it is rich, structured, and velvety, with mature tannins and a long and persistent finish. A wine of great longevity, ideal with important meat dishes or aged cheeses.
